Last night I left class angry. The more I learn about the legal system, the procedures for our state, and agency policy, I realize one thing: I can't count on any of them to do what is best for the kids.
I guess by now I shouldn't be surprised. No one looks out for these kids. Not the schools, hospitals..... not anyone.
As I have mentioned before, there is something called a "case-plan" that goes with every child. It is just a document detailing the goals for the child and their parents. In order for the parent to get their child back, they have to complete a list of tasks: parenting classes, getting a job, completing a drug/alcohol program etc. If they don't finish this laundry list of items, the case-plan will go to
LASt night I found out the NOW judges aren't even really sticking to the 9 month limit. If that have the "majority" of it done at 9 months the judges figure "good enough".
Maybe tomorrow I will realize that the lesson I should learn from this is that God is the only one I can count on to take care of these kids.
Maybe that isn't such a bad thing.
